2020 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · MM69 VJD

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. In the February 2023 test conducted at 38,172 miles, the Ford Transit Custom passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the vehicle was in good mechanical condition at that time. Because there are no subsequent records to the current date, the maintenance trend appears stable but lacks contemporary data to confirm the last three years of operation. The recorded mileage of 38,172 miles over a six-year period reflects an average usage of approximately 6,362 miles per annum. This figure suggests the van was likely used for light local tasking rather than heavy long-distance high-mileage commuting. However, the gap between the last MOT in early 2023 and the current date means the vehicle is now overdue for its annual test. This interval creates uncertainty regarding the current state of components that degrade through time and sitting rather than just mileage. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation with age despite the low mileage. Check the condition of rubber-based parts, such as control arm bushes and suspension mounts, which can perish or crack if the vehicle sits stationary frequently. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized pistons. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and underside sills to ensure no significant oxidation or rust has developed since the 2023 clearance.
